PROPOSED LEAD BAN
«

Email received from Janns netcraft today. OF INTEREST is here is the FIRST time I've read anywhere that this ban will involved lead INSIDE a lure or in a metal of a lure. If this is the case we got a SERIOUS problem here. I have read what I can on this and it didn't appear to involve any lead inside a lure. Up until now I wasn't very concerned about this. You got my attention when they start adding components and metals like brass etc.
NO MORE SPINNER BLADES? THEY'RE BRASS. Musky Lures, Bass spinnerbaits? Collect em now cuz there's about to be ALOT more people put out of work if this follows through.
Dear Scott:
We are contacting you to help us fight the proposed federal ban on all lead in fishing tackle.
On August 23, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was petitioned by the Center for Biological Diversity and four other organizations to ban all lead in fishing tackle under the Toxic Substances Control Act.
This includes sinkers, jigs, weighted fly line, and
components that contain lead such as brass and ballast in a wide variety of lures
, including spinner blades,
stick baits and more
.
A lead ban would significantly add to the cost of fishing tackle. Alternative materials cost from 6 to 15 times more than lead.
The EPA has opened the petition for public comment. Please join us in opposing the ban by sending your comments to the EPA by no later than September 15th, 2010.
It's quick and easy to submit your comment by
